Yes............I wasn't keen when she was lobbing along at the back of the field but he obviously knew what he had and she demolished them when he 'pressed the button'
Lots of racing today but nothing much to write home about - mostly low grade stuff, over here in the UK anyway, bit better in Ireland
Popular hurdler/chaser 'Fair Along' has died of colic
He was only a little 'un but in his pomp he was a doughty front runner............just below top class, he won four Grade 2 races and was a regular at the big meetings
who else was on it ?..............wondering if it's worth looking at on 'Catch Up'............

cheers...........I might watch yesterdays at 4.30 then todays !
The national is my favourite sporting day of the year and surprisingly I've been quite lucky backing the winners in the past! Funny how you remember all your winners as well Amberleigh house, Numbersixvalverdie, Comply or Die and had Neptune Collonges last year.
My usual technique is back 3 horses, one of the favorites to win and a couple of long odds horses each way. Gone for Imperial Commander win and Harry the Viking and Saint Are EW this year.
Bit young for a lot of the classic national memories when they were ran but personally remember
Party Politics winning at General Election time.
The Void national
The Monday national after the bomb scare (was Peter O'Sullivans final one as well)
Red Marauder winning in the bog of 2001 when only 4 finished (and 2 of those were remounted which can't happen these days!)
Didnt realise they'd decided to get rid of the proper parade, tbh I probably agree with that it was a massive faff organising them and got the horses het up straight away.

Nope lol, I had Across the Bay
So did I- he certainly had a good run round though.
Most of the ones I pick are never even mentioned :rolleyes:
Quiet night for the once a year animal rights activists
My son had 2 quid each way on it.
Why didn't they have the starting tape, has this been scrapped now?
